Earth unplugged

Image Atlas will show the globe at a resolution of 2.5 meters per pixel with pictures taken from Indian satellites. It will be published next month by India’s National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA). Adds Times of India:

Mindful of the concerns about Google Earth maps raised by President Abdul Kalam last month, NRSA’s bouquet of high-resolution images will not carry features of defence installations and, therefore, be of no use to the enemy.
